WN3000RPv2 no longer working properly?
Not sure how i did it, but when I was having a connection issue and refreshed the page I was browsing as a quick check, I was suddenly sent to http://mywifiext.net/ and something about setup and confirming password? I admit I didn't pay much attention; I saw that the password was correct in the field and simply hit continue. Since then, my extender has been struggling. Its speed was abysmal at first, and though it's improved since then, it's still noticeably slower than it should be. It also seems to load pages in tiny, short but noticeable stops and starts. I tried returning to http://mywifiext.net/ to figure out what I'd done, but I only ever get the "Oops!" page and can't do anything to get to...anything. I had thought of updating the firmware, but I can't do that if http://mywifiext.net/ isn't working for me.
I wasn't paying attention and I admit that (like agreeing to Terms & Conditions, am I right?), but it seems that I did something irreversible :( Any help would be appreciated.

Hi suihankii,
Please confirm that when logging into mywifiext.net, that you are connected to only the Extender's WiFi network. (disconnect other ethernet/WiFi connections).
Also try clearing your browser cache/history or use another browser.
If this doesn't work, you can reset the WN3000RPv2 back to factory defaults and complete the setup again.

Once it is completed, verify that you are running the latest firmware v1.0.0.36
